You'll hone habits of analysis and imagination that will help you translate ideas into print and other media.

In your dual capstone experience, you will develop a professional portfolio using the projects you have completed in the program, and you will work in a team to solve a major real-world design problem, as assigned by the faculty. An end-of-year competition will showcase your work and other projects in a public presentation.

Life after grad school:

As a graduate of this unusual program, you will follow alumni who have made their mark in a variety of local, regional and national settings as successful editors, writers, and Web and graphic designers. Some work for large corporations, some for small businesses, some for nonprofits and government agencies and others have created their own freelance and consulting businesses.

Classes are offered evenings and weekends, and some courses are offered in the summer.
